Weaning my baby from breastfeeding (What I did + how to do it!)
I just stopped breastfeeding my son when he was 12 months old to give myself a break from nursing because I am pregnant and will be nursing a newborn again beginning in November. Here is a video about how I weaned and what that felt like for us.

I nursed my daughter until she was almost two years old and I breastfed my son until last month when he was just over a month old. I was going to wean him during the week of his first birthday but general advice given said not to wean a baby if they are teething or experiencing a sleep regression .. and just my luck Wilson got his first 4 teeth and went through a sleep regression all at the same time. So weaning was postponed a week or two, but thankfully it went way better than I expected. We began the weaning process during the daytime by offering regular milk and water instead of breastmilk. We also offered a lot of food at meal times to ensure baby was full. Once my son got the hang of daytime naps without nursing before or after then I progressed to weaning him in the evening. That part was a little harder and he cried a bit when he first went down for bed, but it was brief and within a couple days he was comfortable with snuggles and a bottle of milk instead of breastfeeding. I think I was more nervous about it all than he was, he was very adaptable and overall handled weaning really well. Once it was said and done I felt so relieved. I hear often that once women stop nursing they feel more like themselves, I would say that is true for me too. I am so thankful I was able to breastfeed but I am also seriously thankful to have a break from breastfeeding before baby number 3 comes on the scene.
I wish you all the best and send so much love to you who are in the weaning process with your babe. I believe in you. Thank you for watching!
